THE CRACK PITCHES TELLS WHAT THE BROTHERHOOD HA8 ACCOMPLISHED. Soma of the Men ho Have Signed Catcher O' Conner and Bog Holliday to Join the Movement St. Louis Players In the Banks Mike Kelly Secured General Sporting News. By Telsgraph to the Post-Dispatch. IN EW TORE, Nov.

25. The most brilliant catch tbe Broth erhood bas made thus far occurred yesterday, when Mike Kelly signed a contract with Al Johnson, who was acting for the Boston Extraordinary Induce-ments were made to Kelly and there is little doubt that he will both manage and captain tbe new team at the Hub and will receive a splendid bonus In addition to bis salary. The fact of bis signing a contract to play with the new Players' League could hardly be believed by the famous player's most Intimate friends, as It was bat a day or two ago when he positively aeelared that under no circumstances would be sign any con tract until next April, but when tbe $10,000 beauty announced boldly, "Yes, I have signed Brotherhood contract," there was no mis taking the meaning. Tou have no idea." said Kelly, "what a weight has been lifted from my mind since I signed that contract. I want to go now and take bold of the Boston team, and if I am per mitted to do it I will work harder than ever I did in my life.

Futhermore, I will pledge my word and honor that not a drop of liquor shall pass my lips throughout the season." Kelly Is confident that all of the old League team will stand true to tbe Brotherhood. The Boston triumvirate have been very busy among their players, but very little Impres sion seems to have been made. Breathers is the only one thus far who bas signed a Brotherhood contract, but now that Kelly has come into the field there is great confidence that Clarkson and the balance of tbe team will follow suit. HARK BALDWIN. The Big Pitcher Discusses the Brotherhood League and Its riayers.

Mark Baldwin, the great pitcher of the Columbus Club of last season, arrived in the city this morning from Chicago and registered at the LindeH Betel. While there be was called on by Joe Qulnn, O'Connor, bis catcher, Bug Holliday of the Clncln natis, Joe Pritchard and others. It was expected that John $1. Ward would arrive here, out be did not come, iiaiawm, wno was not expected, appearing in bis stead. When seen by a Post-Dispatch representative Baldwin said: "I am on my way to Eureka Springs on a bunting expedition, and leave for there this evening.

Is it true that you have signed a Brother hood contract?" I may as well tell you that I have. When a man has a good thing, I see no reason why be should not make It known. season I ill play with tbe Chicago Brotherhood team, and I will tell you right now, that next year the Brotherhood will place In the field the finest lot of clnbs that have ever been seen on a ball field. Not only will they have all the League players worth hav ing, but they will get their pick of the Assocl atlon men. In fact, thev now have nearly all tbe men in the Association they want.

Latham, Milligan, Kin and Boyle of tbe St. Louis Club have already signed Brotherhood contracts. We are not attempting to touch players who have already siined contracts. We have Griffin, Shiodle, Kilroy and all tbe Baltimore men worth having. Denny, Glasscock, Boyle and Rome have dn- sertea us ana signed wun lnaianapoiis, out we can well spare them.

We now have enouah men under contract to place a Brotherhood team in each city represented in our league and when we get through there will not be enough players In botn the League and Association to form a league with and both as sociations will have to co into tbe minor leagues for men. When it comes to a question of patronizing minor league players games or contests Detween men who are too pick of the two older associations, it is not bard to guess where the puouo wiu go. rot only will we give them the only first-class base ball that will be Been, but we have their sympathy outside of this. Public sympathy is strongly with us every where, na win oe the only Base ball association of any consequence next season. None of tbe Brooklyn players have been signed by us because tbey have already signed with tbe Brooklyn Club and we are not tampering with men who nave already Signed contracts." It is safe to say that Dotn conn or and Bug Holliday will be seen with Brotherhood clubs next season.

Holliday received J2, 800 from Cincinnati last season and the Brotherhood are said to have offered bim $3,200. He got a telegram to-day from iiarry Welden warning bim to be careful about signing any Brotherhood contract, and telling bim that the Cincinnati management would pay bim $3,000 next season and give bim whatever advance money he wanted The Bug remarked to a reporter that it was more than likely that be would play with some of the Brotherhood clubs. O'Con nor only smiled when asked If be intended joining tbe Brotherhood, bnt It is safe to say that Dotn win sign contracts wun me players- leagne. In fact, tbere Is no question about that being their present intention at least Joe Qulnn said be had not signed a Brotnerhood contract yet. bnt bad af fixed his signature to the agreement and intended signing tbe contract when tbe time came.

Tbey bad bis word and that was as good as his contract. Director Billings of Boston bad written offering him a three-years' contract, but be would go with the Brother hood. Had he promised Billings be would play with him', but he bad not done so and would faithfully keep bis promise with the Brotherhood. Base Ball Briefs.

A farmer named Frank Engelnian. living a few miles west of Nashville, was attacked by a fierce, full-grown gray esgle on Friday evening while on his way to town. When first noticed the bird was at a great height In midair. A minute later it dropped down upon Engelinan with a shrill scream, striking bim with terrible force, bury ing its talons in bis clothing and flesh. Engelinan was on horseback and therefore at a great disadvantage.

Before be could dismount he was badly clawed by the bird. Tbe farmer was wttbout weapons and could only defend himself with bis bare bands. Tbe light lasted fully an hour, the eagle plunging at him from every quarter. Twice did the man attempt to run, but each time tbe areat bird threw itself in bis way and prevented his retreat. At length be caught it by its talons, and with bands and feet succeeded in slaying tt.

The bird measured 6 feet 4 Inches from tip to tip. KILT SUITS AMD JERSEY SUITS FOE CHILDREN. These are finer suits than you can buy elsewhere. We have made special arrangements for the manufacture of the best Kilt and Jersey suits ever sold in 6t. Louis.

On hearing of the circumstances the citizens were so Incensed that it required considerable effort on the part of cooler-headed people to prevent a t'eneral uprising that would have demol ished the saloons by force.

At the end of that time they bad agreed td stop the sale of intoxicants In Fair- laod arid close up all their business affairs by December 1.
